Thai animators don’t sweat the small stuff in the Big Apple

Posted on August 10, 2012

July 22-27 a new group of faculty from universities across Thailand headed to New York on a special study tour – they wanted to meet and learn from small animation studios about real-world creative processing and production. The in-depth ideas they brought back cover video game design, children’s television, and commercial special effects. And the East Coast studios themselves got to spend a few summer hours going back to school with an audience of enthusiastic professors (and lucky Creative Partnership coordinators from the Royal Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs and New York Consulate-General!). The group rounded out the week with a visit to the opening of 2012′s Siamese Connection, an annual art show and celebration hosted by the Thai Artists’ Alliance of New York.

Below, some photo galleries of the meetings, and now, a who’s-who for future partnerships:
